Slide 29: 29. Elvis said it best: "We can't go on together with suspicious minds."

From what I understand from the sentence “We can’t go on together with suspicious minds”  and applying it in a market way. I believe that if a company or a firm makes assumptions and is always not trusting and being wary of their partners every move. Then it’s “partners” in the firm or company can  lead to a  miscommunication which in return will “break” or cause “dispute” among each other.

Slide 30: 30. Brand loyalty is the corporate version of going steady, but the breakup is inevitable — and coming fast. Because they are networked, smart markets are able to renegotiate relationships with blinding speed.

Loyalty for the company is very important because once you get used to the company you will love the company and you will have a good working attitude towards the company. Loyalty for the company is very important because  it is hard for the company to let you go because of the performance. Other employees are not that good, in this situation employees are having a temporary attitude in working in their current job. The tendency of this is the employee will not do his or her job well. if an employee will separate itself from the company, both sides are have their own disadvantages. Because of the networked markets relationships between them develops between them. This creates a bond between the employees. because of the networked conversation, all of the markets or all of the markets get smarter and will have faster conversation between them.

 I have learned from this statement that the relationship of the company with the market is very important because it creates a bond between them. And when we talk about the employees or the loyalty of the employees, it is very important to have the attitude of commiting themselves with the company so that they will have a good working condition within them. To earn its loyalty communication is still connected because the conversation within the market will progress in order to earn its loyalty.

Slide 31: 31. Networked markets can change suppliers overnight. Networked knowledge workers can change employers over lunch. Your own "downsizing initiatives“ taught us to ask the question: "Loyalty? What's that?

According to the statement. Markets today can make a decision at this very moment and change it at the blink of an eye. Due to some factors or matters. I believe that a market would keep their word but not cherish it. So if we’re looking at loyalty it is where a market signs a deal with it’s partners and in the long run builds a good relationship with them.

"Slide 32: 32. Smart markets will find suppliers who speak their own language.

From what I understand from the statement, a market is “attracted’ to a supplier who is “known” or is reliable. Because every market wants a good supplier who can deliver and supply them with stocks or equipment when needed because it is crucial for a market to have a good supplier who “speaks” for himself. And that means you know that you can count on that supplier.

Slide 33: 33. Learning to speak with a human voice is not a parlor trick. It can't be "picked up" at some tony conference.

What the sentences says is that it’s not easy to speak the market language. It’s not something you pick up in grade school. You need skills and experience to make deals and talk to firms. Trying to “persuade” them. So what I learned is that it’s a skill that you have to acquire overtime or during the years of yourself working in the industry.

Slide 34: 34. To speak with a human voice, companies must share the concerns of their communities.

Looking at this sentence I understand that a company must not keep secrets or lie to their employees because that in return could affect the reputation and it’s relationship with employees in which will make the company not work productively. Which will bring “down” the company

Slide 35: 35. But first, they must belong to a community.

Looking at the sentence a market must belong to a community to familiarize it self with in the market. It is for them to know or have a good knowledge about their product which will be an advantage for them because they will know the strengths and weaknesses of their competition.
